I agree. Broadcast TV that depends on broadband is an awkward hybrid. The surveillance capitalism and interactive features just sound like a worse version of the Internet (WebTV). That's combining the flexibility of broadcast TV with the increased system requirements of having a broadband connection and training the masses how to type their Wi-Fi password into their TV. A lot of TV viewers can barely program their VCR or change inputs.
It would be more technically efficient to have 500-600 MHz 5G as YouTube and similar service are already a la carte and on demand. However the type of crowd that uses an antenna doesn't overlap a lot with the crowd that pays for 5G service.
